Mike MacPherson Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 Yes hopefully common sense will prevail. The status quo was Ypres as one of the duplication races. A simple amendment to the proposal will do. I am more concerned with why they want to move the two inland races forward a week. If that passes it will cause problems for the federations who duplicate in one or both.No problems for feds Dave, check proposal,inland races still to be flown same weekends as previously
DJL Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 No problems for feds Dave, check proposal,inland races still to be flown same weekends as previously Dates may be similar but Portsmouth is 2 weeks before Gold Cup race. The second inland race has been the week before gold cup for years now

DJL Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 Why is that a bad idea mate? Would it not maybe help gold Cup?I am not saying it's a bad idea. I am looking at it from the point of view of federations who set their programme to tie in with the SNFC. Not sure about it helping the entry for the gold cup from this area. 400+ miles ten days before race marking with the risk of holdovers is not ideal preparation.

I think the majority of feds will look at this and alter if needed

From an SNFC member's point of view I think they have the dates bang on for all races including Y/B race being a week later
